Dad Rocks!

By Anna Hall, MK Hickory, NC June 13, 2015
This year, Father's Day is June 21. Here's a fun gift idea for the special dad in your life. This is perfect for older kids (who can be trusted with a hot glue gun or super glue). For younger kids, have them help you pick out the rocks and design some artwork to put in the frame while you do the gluing.

Dad Rocks Photo Frame


Materials needed:
  • Wooden photo frame
  • Paint and brush
  • Polished rocks
  • Super glue or hot glue
What to do:
  • Remove the glass and back/stand from the frame.
  • Paint the wooden frame in a dark color to match the rocks you will be using.  If you purchase a dark frame to begin with, you may skip this step.
  • Use super glue or hot glue to adhere the rocks around the frame. It is a good idea to start with the outside edge to have a straight line especially at the bottom to allow the frame to stand up straight.
  • Have the kids create a drawing for dad or use a photograph to insert as you reassemble the frame and complete your unique, handmade gift.

Happy Father's Day Macaroni Dads!
